Detective Rick Burns is far from normal. He's smart, and he has a keen eye, but he's tormented from his past. After a series of personal tragedies, the pain that Rick has held inside is about to spill out in dramatic fashion.
Rick's wife left him after the death of their son, he's in love with the one woman he can't have, and he's investigating a slew of unsolved, gruesome murders. When a creepy boy begins "haunting" the detective, his life starts spinning out of control. He doesn't know if he's seeing things, going crazy, or if he's the killer.
But the boy knows. He's knows Rick. And he knows the maniacal serial killer who's preying on domestic abusers. In an attempt to unearth the murderer, the boy ushers Rick into a terrifying chase where reality and the supernatural are blurred, nearly costing him his life, his love, and his reputation.
The question is, will Rick finally find the peace he's been looking for, or does fate have something else in store for the detective? Find out in Book 1 of the Twisted Series by Jeff Bennington.

Here’s the set-up:
Joshua Camden, Marquess of Montfort, will do everything in his power to save his precious Graystone Manor – even take a wife he doesn’t want. But he isn’t prepared for the one demand the woman who holds the power to save his precious Graystone makes – that he remain faithful forever.
Lady Allison Townsend would rather go to her grave a spinster than marry a man who embarrasses her with his string of mistresses. But when she’s given no choice but to marry one of London’s most well-known rakes and womanizers, she refuses to go to the altar without a stipulation of her own – that the man she marries never share his bed with another woman.
But neither Allison nor Joshua is prepared for the dangers they’re forced to face and the choices they’re forced to make to protect their happiness – as well as their hearts.

Whether you are celebrating Easter, the Vernal Equinox, Passover, or the beautiful weekend, today’s eBook of the Day is a special choice that we promise will combine spiritual succor with a great read! Philip Michael Bulman’s 4-Star Novel REPLENISH THE EARTH is just $2.99 on Kindle!
In February of the year 303, the Roman emperor Diocletian issued the first in a series of edicts designed to destroy Christianity. Striking at the heart of the church, the measure banned Christian worship and ordered the Roman legions to destroy churches and scriptures.
This novel opens on the day the first edict was issued. It follows Linus and Priscilla, two members of a small Christian community, through what church historians would later come to call the Great Persecution.
Replenish The Earth is a thriller that takes you into the heart of a Christian community and its heroic resistance to persecution.
From the reviewers:
In this simply told and competently written novel of the emperor Diocletian’s persecution of Christians in third century Rome, the author captures both the essence of the faith and the most extreme challenges of living it. – BlueInk Review

Superman’s Cape
Here’s the set-up:
When Sara Connely is asked what life is like today, she answers with the simple words, ‘life goes on.’ The life she and her boys enjoyed the last dozen years is gone. Sara struggles to cope with the death of her husband and doing so with two young boys, and no money, is almost too much to ask.
Life does go on, but when Sara’s oldest boy becomes lost in Croatan National Forest, life comes to a stop.
Twelve-year-old Kyle Connely doesn’t know the woods. He doesn’t know the wildlife. He doesn’t know how to get home. Lost in the wilderness, he faces dangers the likes of which he has never seen. Kyle’s time is running out. A hurricane is looming, and in its path is the coastal forest he is trying to survive.
Jacob Hanson has a gift. An intuition. An insightfulness. And it has helped him find success. But his gift turns into a curse as he becomes an unwilling participant in Kyle’s plight.
What Jacob Hanson doesn’t know is he also holds the key to Sara’s past and the lifetime she lost with her husband.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Terrence O’Brien’s THE TEMPLAR CONCORDAT is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, or Currently FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library, with 4.3 Stars on 25 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!
Here’s the set-up for Terrence O’Brien’s The Templar Concordat, just $2.99 or Currently FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library:
When the truth is your greatest danger, and the enemy knows the truth, things can only go downhill when the enemy finally gets the proof. And that’s the proof the Hashashin get when they steal what the Vatican doesn’t even know it has.
Now the infallible decrees of two Twelfth Century popes and three kings, stolen by the Hashashin, threaten to catapult the bigotry, bias, and religious blood baths of the Third Crusade straight into the Twenty-First Century.
When Templars Sean Callahan and Marie Curtis are drawn into the mess, they face an ancient enemy that has already nearly won the battle, a newly elected Mexican pope being undermined by entrenched Vatican powers, world class scholars who will sell their prestige to the highest bidder, and terrorists lingering over lattes in sidewalk cafes.
Moving from Rome to London, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia, Callahan and Curtis are desperate to find some way to stem the success the Hashashin are having enlisting the majority of moderate Muslims in their Jihad. Out-maneuvered at each step by the Hashashin, only a last ditch roll of the dice has any chance of success. But it’s the only chance they have.

From the reviewers:
I found The Templar Concordant to be a real fun read starting with the Templar’s in the middle ages and updating them to the present day where they are intertwined in modern day society. I think this is Terrence O’Brien’s first novel and I’d say he did a very good job, always fun to find new authors with their own unique voice. – “jackzvt”
My husband is really the historian in our family and loves everything Templar related. When this book came up on one of my searches, I jumped at it after reading the intro. Since he only reads on the weekends I thought I would read the book first. After starting it midday, I was reading well into the night and finally under the covers with my little kindle light. I could not put this book down. – “kdl”
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found it enthralling and I couldn’t put it down. When I finished I read everything on Terrence O’Brien’s wet site to find out about the background of the Templars. – “ajq”
“I loved this book and am still kicking myself for resisting its sirencall for so long. The history and details woven skillfully into the action and well rounded characters made for an exciting read…” -Sandra Gilbert
If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code, this has a lot of the same elements – but it’s a bit more believable, so it’s easier to suspend disbelief and just go along with the story. As other reviewers have pointed out, an ancient treaty is discovered that could have huge ramifications for the modern world, the Catholic church, and Christianity in general. – Heather
From the Author:
The idea for the book began to grow a few years ago as news reports revealed more and more about Al Qaeda. What struck me was thefact that it had no national allegiance. It operated outside the established nation state system. Al Qaeda didn’t care what the government of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, or Iran thought. It did whatever it wanted, and claimed to be doing it to further world-wide Islam.
So, I wondered what things would be like if there was an organization in the West that was also free from the governments of the West. How would they combat Al Qaeda? What kind of scene would play out across the world if that kind of group challenged Al Qaeda without worrying about media, Congressional hearings, appeals courts, public opinion, or the next election cycle?
Then I remembered there once was such a Western organization when the Knights Templars were active from 1120 to 1307. They answered to nobody, had the strongest military of the day, crossed borders at will, amassed a huge fortune, engaged in trade and commerce, and financed many of the monarchies.
So, why not bring the Templars forward in time, and let some escape the ambush by the King of France and the pope that destroyed them in 1307? And since the Templars were a creation of the Crusades and the Church, let those players come into the present day, too. And the Hashashin, a secretive branch of Islaimi Shiite Islam that excelled in covert operations? Let them escape their destruction by the Mongols in 1275, and come forward to the present day.
I also noticed news stories about the discovery of the Chinon Parchment from 1308 dealing with the Templar trials. The document had been misfiled in 1628 and was lost to history until an Italian researcher found it buried in the stacks of the Vatican Library in 2001. So the notion that things could get lost for hundreds of years in a library was definitely reasonable.
The result is The Templar Concordat. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
